John Calvin (1509  1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism, aspects of which include the doctrine of predestination and the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation of the human soul from death and eternal damnation. Jean Crespin (c.1520  1572) was a French Protestant lawyer who became a significant printer and martyrologist in Geneva. We do not find this very rare book for sale elsewhere.
